Help identify this bird
by Nancy
(Zeigler, Illinois )
I saw a small, light brown bird (no bright colors or sheen) with a plume on its head. It was a little larger than a sparrow but smaller than a cardinal. It flew up to eathe from a hanging feeder.
I have never seen one of these at our feeders before. It was seen at a back yard feeder in a small town in Illinois.
Can you help identify this bird. I was not able to get a picture.
